A devastating terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley, Jammu and Kashmir, killed 26 people, including Hindu and Christian tourists. The Resistance Front (TRF), allegedly linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. India accused Pakistan of harboring terrorists, sparking a severe diplomatic standoff. In retaliation, India revoked the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled Pakistani diplomats, and sealed border crossings. Pakistan denied involvement and countered by suspending the Shimla Agreement and closing its airspace to Indian flights. Escalating cross-border tensions have led to increased skirmishes along the Line of Control, with international agencies urging de-escalation. (PC: AP)
